Point North HVAC - Gurnee's Reliable HVAC Repair

Yes, refrigerant leaks are a common issue in our area, especially as systems age. We start with an electronic leak detection test to pinpoint the exact location. Once found, we repair the leak, perform a system evacuation to remove moisture and air, and then recharge it with the precise amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer. This restores cooling performance and efficiency, protecting your compressor from damage.

Absolutely. High energy bills are often caused by an HVAC system working harder than it needs to. Our comprehensive maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, calibrating thermostats, and ensuring all components are functioning optimally. A well-tuned system uses significantly less energy to heat and cool your home. For older systems, we can provide an efficiency assessment and discuss potential upgrades that offer long-term savings.

Our AC tune-up is a proactive service designed to prevent the most frequent issues we see. It includes checking for early signs of refrigerant leaks, cleaning the condenser coil (a major factor in efficiency), inspecting electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and testing system operation. This preventative care helps catch small problems before they lead to a breakdown on a hot day and ensures your system runs at peak efficiency to combat high energy costs.
